March Haul Featuring Topshop, Asos and Missguided | Fashion.

Hello, my name is Sade and I am addicted to buying clothes I don't need. No, this is not something I tell myself. This is often what I hear coming from the direction of my partner. In his defence, he's so true (not something I'll be admitting to him). But in my defence, I so do need 10 pairs of blue jeans in different shades of blue because certain colours go with certain tops and yes I need that top because it'll match these jeans...

Enough was enough so I made a deal with myself to ONLY have a treat month every other month. Then the months in between I can save all my money. To be fair I always put money aside every single month anyway. However... the deal was made worse when I said to Alex I'll make a bet with you that I don't spend any money until June! So here I am making this haul blog post as a way to... I guess remind myself of this months treats to stop the spending! To keep myself sane I'll be making blog posts of 'wish lists' so that come June if any of those items are available they're going straight in my basket!!

On to the haul. 

I still remember the days I prayed for the things I have now. | Lifestyle.

Hello, everyone! I hope you are having a wonderful weekend. It's been a really productive Saturday morning for me, the laundry is washed and drying, I cleaned and tidied my bedroom and finally did all those annoying little jobs that needed doing but I just kept putting off. It's currently snowing outside, I've got incense on the go with a real 'feel good' film on. It just seemed the perfect setting to sit down and do a catch up with my blog.

I guess one of the reasons I felt compelled to sit down and write this blog post is to maybe... remind myself of the positives in my life. Recently, I've been feeling more on the negative side. I seem to feel a little lost at the moment. I'm 25, always putting myself down for not 'earning enough money', I still don't have enough money saved for a house, I'm not fully working within a 'career', I've got no oomph to get up and go in the mornings. It seems all I do is push myself out of bed, crave the evenings and long for the weekends. Enough is enough.

Farewell 2017. | Lifestyle.

As I sit here and think back over the year and what I have accomplished, I can't help but have a smile on my face. Many people have shared posts on social media on why their year was amazing, or in some cases maybe not their best year. It can be difficult at times not to focus on the negatives and what we didn't achieve. All I saw throughout the year were people my age or younger getting engaged, buying houses, having children etc and it's so easy to get caught up in comparing our lives to that of others. But despite all of that, I have had a wonderful year filled with many amazing memories and resolutions I managed to attain!

So, here are a few key moments that have made my year one of the most smooth sailings yet. I wanted to write this post because I love to appreciate these moments especially in times of need. It's far too easy to focus on what we don't have and it's good to be reminded of the positives as well as set new goals.

Here are a few key moments of 2017.

Liberty London Beauty Advent Calendar 2017 | Review.

And just like that, all 25 beautiful beauty doors have been opened. I must admit I am beyond sad I will no longer be coming home every evening from work to open a beauty door. It has definitely been my highlight every day throughout the month of December.
